Beatrice Loayza New York Times 06/29/2022
The Art of Making It, a documentary by Kelcey Edwards, doesn’t entirely depart from those pessimistic fictional portraits. It does, however, offer a more pragmatic, occasionally hopeful, perspective on the visual arts ecosystem. Go to Full Review Dan Schindel Hyperallergic 11/14/2022
The documentary has impressive access to contemporary art world figures, but comes up with no good solutions for the many problems it discusses. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 06/28/2022
A fair and balanced exposé as well as a powerful wake-up call for a systemically broken system that's in desperate need of significant repair. Go to Full Review Mattie Lucas In Review Online 03/14/2022
